As for sponsorship to attend the conference, we would like to encour-
age the conference participants to look for their own sponsorship. 
MIM will only sponsor the participation of a limited number of young 
Conference attendees from malaria-endemic countries based on a cri-
tique of submitted abstracts and the availability of funds. Priority 
will be given to scientists under the age of 35 from Africa, and ma-
laria-endemic countries in Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. A 
sponsored participant must be a presenting author of an accepted ab-
stract (oral or poster).

If you are applying for sponsorship through MIM, submit your abstract 
by May 1, 2002. Do not register or submit a registration fee prior to 
August 1, 2002. Sponsored participants will be contacted between June 
1 and August 1, 2002, to begin all travel and logistical arrange-
ments.

The Call for Abstracts booklet is available on the MIM web site in 
the Conference section: http://mim.nih.gov

We look forward to seeing you in Arusha!

Sincerely,
